The New England Patriots have dominated Week 18’s headlines for all the wrong reasons.

It started with news of wide receiver Stefon Diggs facing a felony criminal charge as a result of an alleged assault that took place on Dec. 2.

One day later, reports surfaced of defensive tackle Christian Barmore facing a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery for an alleged incident dating back to August of this year involving a woman he had been in a relationship with.

Both cases remain ongoing, and both players are expected to play in the final regular-season game of the year on...

The Patriots made a remarkable choice in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting running back TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State.

Henderson has stood out as a key contributor to New England’s remarkable offense this season. According to Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon, Henderson could be the best rookie building block for the Patriots’ future.

“Not trying to diss No. 4 overall pick Will Campbell, who looks like a long-term pillar at left tackle,” Gagnon wrote on Wednesday. “Both of these guys should be locked in as long-term building blocks within that offense, but Henderson has actually outshined...

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has taken the NFL by storm this season and could be the league’s MVP.

Maye is the favorite to win MVP at -330 odds as of Wednesday night via FanDuel. Maye spoke about the possibility of being the league MVP during his Wednesday availability.

“It’s an honor,” Maye said. “I told everybody who said something in the locker room, it’s us. It’s a team deal.”

Maye has thrown for 4,203 yards, 30 touchdowns and eight interceptions this season. But most importantly, Maye has led the Patriots to a 13-3 record and to an AFC...

The Miami Dolphins may be considering adding a new quarterback after benching Tua Tagovailoa in the middle of December.

If the Dolphins are looking to bring in a veteran quarterback who can step in and start immediately, Kirk Cousins could be a solid fit for the roster.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks the Dolphins would be a good landing spot for Cousins.

“Regardless of (Mike) McDaniels’ fate, it feels like Miami is out on Tua Tagovailoa, who was benched for (Quin)Ewers for performance reasons,” Knox wrote on Tuesday. “Offloading Tagovailoa’s contract this coming offseason won’t be easy, as it will...

The Patriots are having a fantastic season, but many people are skeptical of New England’s “easy schedule”.

According to Tankathon.com, the Patriots have the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL. However, Drake Maye didn’t want to hear about New England’s schedule.

“We play in the National Football League,” Maye said on Wednesday. “Every team has great players. It’s not like we’re playing Foxborough High School down the road.”

Maye makes an excellent point about the NFL: each team has a handful of standout players. Unlike college football, where only a few teams are truly competitive, and the rest of...

One of the biggest stories of this upcoming NFL offseason will be what quarterback Aaron Rodgers decides about his future.

Rodgers turned 42 on Dec. 2, and there’s a possibility he might retire at the end of this season. However, former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski believes that Rodgers will return for one more season.

“I think he does come back for one more year after this,” Gronkowski said Wednesday on “Up & Adams”.

Rodgers is in 21st NFL season and first with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In 15 games this season, Rodgers has thrown for 3,028 yards and...

The New England Patriots set sights on the Miami Dolphins without seven.

Fullback Jack Westover, tight end Hunter Henry, guard Jared Wilson, defensive tackles Christian Barmore and Khyiris Tonga, as well as linebackers Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane stayed sidelined on New Year’s Eve in Foxborough.

But three returned to practice. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was back in a non-contact jersey after spending last week in the NFL’s concussion protocol, while the 21-day windows opened for offensive tackle Will Campbell and cornerback Alex Austin to be activated from injured reserve.

Here’s the first injury report ahead of Sunday’s 4:25...

The Patriots are gearing up for their first playoff game next weekend since 2021, and former New England tight end Rob Gronkowski believes that facing the Buffalo Bills would be the easiest matchup for them.

“I would take the Bills,” Gronkowski said Wednesday on “Up & Adams”. “Already played them twice, should’ve beaten them twice. They were up 21-0, then let down, and I think they learned from that mistake.”

Even though Gronkowski thinks the Bills could be the best possible matchup for New England, he is still afraid of Buffalo’s quarterback, Josh Allen.

“Josh Allen is the sacriest part...

The New England Patriots were back at practice on Wednesday, starting the on-field preparation for their upcoming regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. Among the players present were two whose 21-day practice window has now been opened.

Starting left tackle Will Campbell and reserve cornerback Alex Austin, who currently both reside on injured reserve, made their practice comeback.

Campbell, 21, was placed on injured reserve following the Patriots’ Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The first-round draft pick had suffered a knee injury in the game that was later diagnosed as a sprained MCL. He was subsequently placed...

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is one of the most famous athletes in the world. She’s most often talking basketball during interviews, which made her most recent public appearance unique.

Appearing as a guest on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast, Clark revealed why she’s pulling for the New England Patriots to go all the way this year.

“I’m a Drake Maye fan, Clark said. “I think he’s been incredible, and … I mean, I’ll probably be, like, pulling for the Patriots, but, I mean, I think the Rams are really good, too.”

Clark burst into the WNBA scene as...

The New England Patriots are holding on to hope that their impressive season will end atop the AFC.

New England is tied with the Denver Broncos for the first seed in the conference, but thanks to the Broncos’ two wins over the Las Vegas Raiders, Denver will win the tiebreaker.

With recent news surfacing earlier this week that the Broncos’ Week 18 opponent, the Los Angeles Chargers, will be resting starters against Denver, the Chargers’ win that New England needs seems to be a long shot.

Even so, head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters on Wednesday that the Patriots’ starters...
